Blanchester Public Library patrons now have access to several new databases, as well as more than 12,000 courses through Lynda.com.

As part of LinkedIn Learning, Lynda.com
helps anyone learn business, technology and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. The courses range from computer programming to project management and include instruction on various business topics. Patrons just need their library barcode number and PIN to access the courses.

The databases are provided by the Ohio Public Library Information
Network (OPLIN), which also provides the library's Internet connection.

All of the databases available to library users, with a brief summary, are listed on the Research
page of the library website. These include databases the library pays
for individually, plus those provided statewide by OPLIN, as well as
some free web sites.
